Mazda CX-5

"Rear calipers froze, damaged pads and rotors, all were replaced. This happened on both sides a few months apart."

"I was surprised the brakes had worn that much but the car also gets a lot of use."

"Just needed new brakes. Pretty normal."

"have had to replace pads and rotors twice since 2013, with about 50000 miles on vehicle."

"brake pads have had to be replaced twice in 3 years"

"brakes had to be replaced in 2016"

"We have needed to replace the brakes once every year or 18 months since the car was new. They just don't last very long. It costs about $1000 to replace them each time"

"Was surprised at annual dealership check up that the brakes and rotors needed replacing. Had not encountered any problems/noises when braking, and car had about 30,000 miles. Seemed like low mileage for rotors needing to be replaced, and typically only need new pads with other cars I've owned"

"Considering low-mileage non-city usage, amount of brake service reqjuired is terrible."

"Had to do expensive repair of rear brakes. Rotors and calipers"

"The rear brakes were shot after only 34,000 km so the dealership replaced them on warranty"

"Generally speaking we only get 2 years in between needing to have the brakes replaced. It was recalled for this after purchase and covered once under warranty. After that we have paid for the repair ourselves."

"The brakes wear out around 20-25,000 miles."

"persistent need for brake service and parts replacement considering low mileage rural driving"

"I have gone through 3 sets of front brake rotors in 151,000 miles."

"Front Brake pads needed to be replaced twice in 80000 miles."

"replaced brakes at 24000 miles"

"This vehicle had the rear brakes and rotors replaced and within months the brakes pulsated again under anything more than light braking. This is the second time since the vehicle was new it has done this. And it only has 55,000 miles. Brakes and rotors do not last."

"I heard a squealing noise coming from the rear. I took it in to the dealer, and they said that the brakes needed to be replaced"

"This is the second set of rotors. They warp quickly and produce a vibration with braking"

"I have had to replace the rear brake rotors approximately every 25,000 miles"

"Early failure of front rotors due to corrosion issues. I live in New York state."

"The rotors disintegrated. The local dealership botched the first repair and it had to go in a second time to properly fix the problem."

"warped rotors causing noise - apparently common!!!"

"I think they were faulty because the dealer replaced them for free"

"Needed new break pads"

"For over a year the brakes had a rubbing noise coming to a stop. Mazda said the brakes were fine, perhaps a crust of rust on outer rotor. Sanding them didn't help. Eventually got tired of it and had a full brake job done. Serviceman said brakes were essentially worn out at 40,000 km. No brake noise since."

"Disc stuck in CD player and needed to replace"

"Same problem.navigation unit freezes up"

"For several months, the display for the navigation/music/phone did not start up when I started the car, and would take 5-10 minutes to start up. Problematic because I couldn't enter a destination in the navigation, and would have to start driving without knowing the "best route" based on traffic. Also, I could not use the hands-free phone or even listen to music until the display started working again. The system started working properly several months later, NOT after a software update. No apparent reason for the problem or resolution."

"Nav system goes nuts, freezes up. Took to dealer and installed updates three times. Working now but for how long?"

"Froze and needed to be re initialized"

"GPS had to have a program fix (reboot) in order to get it too work"

"We took our CX-5 in to the dealer for a NAV problem 6 months ago. They reset the unit & all worked fine until several days ago when the same problem cropped up. We haven't made an appointment to have it investigated yet"

"navigation screen freezes every now and then and usually takes at least 10 minutes before it will unfreeze to my current location"

"There is no way to turn it off. It just stays on until you turn the car completely off. It is a cartoonish looking display and not worth the $500. I paid for it"

"Phone pairing using Bluetooth is awkward and the entertainment system seems to have a mind of its own, often selecting random playlists, not the music I was listening to. It's a little balky and sometimes hard to change users."

"Cannot pair phone to system in car. Called Mazda and still could not get phone to car working"

"doesn't understand your voice command to dial correct number by name. Basically doesn't work"

"several times my bluetooth has stopped pairing with my phone during a call. it will then reconnect and then unpair again"

"Phone pairing often requires radio power cycling to recognize on board devices (failures occur 1 out of 5 pairings)"

"The modules for the satellite radio failed and the antennae associated with the satellite radio failed; per the satellite radio service (Sirius) the problem had to be diagnosed at a dealer (done at a cost of $135) and informed the entire in-dash unit (head?) would have to be replaced at $2800. This replacement cost is 20% of the estimated KBB value of the car - ridiculous. Am considering taking the vehicle to a after-market vendor but haven't done that yet. Mazda does not replace the failed components, only the entire in-dash unit - also ridiculous and lazy service."

"The vehicle was sold as having a premium entertainment system but the sound is inadequate. I believe that the Bose speakers are poor quality. The sound system was checked by our Mazda dealer who told me that if I wanted a good sound system, I should have bought a newer vehicle. My 2006 Honda Civic Si has a far better stereo system than Mazda's allegedly premium system. I bought this vehicle used for the young drivers in our family. If the sound system had been decent, I'd have considered buying a new CX-5 for myself, but I won't now. I also checked with a local company that does car audio and the person I spoke to said Mazda's sound systems are just not of a good quality."

"Front speakers on my Bose system have stopped working"

"I changed the battery in my key fab and the key system and starter still doesn’t operate consistently"

"Same as last answer"

"I had just left the dealership for a tune-up, and a tire check had been part of the service. The monitor went off before I'd gone 1/2 a mile from the dealership. Now, I ignore it"

"The alarm came on; the pressure was checked on all 4 tires and the spare one. All were OK. It happens several times"

"Problems with false positives on gauges and false tire pressure warning"

"Low pressure warning light went on, but all of the tires actually were properly inflated"

"Tire pressure light is activated every couple of months. Tires are fine when we go to the dealer. They readjust something and all is fine"
